Welcome to the official GReddy USA blog. -Think of this as our online weekly "GReddy Times," a venue for us to report what's going on or what just happened at GReddy USA this week (new products, new projects, racing news, even online store specials.) On our blog you can see what we are up to in the GReddy Sales floor, R&D garage, on the road or even from our Headquarters in Japan.

Last Boost and Peak Hold Boost Recall, well as a Warning Alert and saftey Limiter functions

Data Lock and 180degree mounting options.

Profec Programing Basics:

The Profec is programed with the same 3, easy adjustments as the previous PRofec B-spec2 (SET, GAIN, & START), but refines the programing to one simplified screen, for simple intuitive control. (While the PEAK recall in the programing screen helps the programer see what boost level was.)

SET % = Controls the target boost level. As simple as a manual boost controller. As you increase this percentage from 0-100% it increase boost over factory wastegate spring boost level

GAIN % = Controls the Wastegate response (stability) at higher RPMs. So if the boost level tends to drop as the RPM rises, you can set the GAIN % to a higher positive value (0 to +100) And if you want the boost to drop at higher RPMs you can set the GAIN % to a more negative valve (0 to -99)

START (Boost) = [CONTROL] Is a boost pressure value that determines Boost Response (or when the boost controller starts to open and close the wastegate.) This is generally set 3-6psi (1-2kPa) below the desired boost level. (if the boost "Spikes" then regains control, it is likely the START valve is too high and should be set lower.) Under the START [NORMAL] setting (if used) the wastegate is allowed to open gradually to the START boost value (more similarly to a manual boost controller. This maybe ideal for more complex sequnetial turbo set-ups.)

The GReddy Hi Performance Pro Dry S universal air filters are
constructed of multiple layers of progressively finer synthetic
material. The deep-pleated conical shape with internal concave inlet top
is bonded by a 100% polyurethane top and base. Two sizes of Air Filters
are currently available, Medium & Small. The "oil-free" Dry
element provides great airflow and low service intervals, without the
possibility of MAF sensor contamination. Base outlet diameters are
available in various sizes.

Local Irwindale Speedway (the "House of Drift") was the location for the 7th and final round of the 2012 Formula Drift Championship Season. And what an exciting 1st season it has been for the GReddy Performance X Scion RacingDrift FR-S Team... building a brand new, first ever Scion FR-S drift car, making it competitive and campaigning it for our 1st season in the premier series.

Now on to Rd.7 coverage: The weekend was filled with it's ups and downs for the team. Friday: Although Ken didn't get in as much practice, as we had wanted, his experience and skill enabled him to put together an excellent 1st lap to qualify the GReddy Performance X Scion Racing Drift FR-S in 5th. This marked a season best qualifying position.

In Saturday tandem battles, Ken went up against Toshiki Yoshioka in his turbo VQ S15. These runs were some of closest, most exciting runs in Top32. Yoshioka put great following pressure on Ken on the 1st run, but Ken was able to even better that in the 2nd run, giving the win to Ken and exciting the crowd and team. He's a clip from the spectator stands...

The next battle had Ken up against Matt Field in his V8 NOS powered S14 for the 2nd consecutive event. Unfortunately this time we did not win against Field and, this would be our last set of tandem battles for the 2012 season. Ending the event in Top16 and finishing the season with 379.5pt and in 8th place for the championship.

The car, driver and team have gelled together and evolved the GReddy Performance X Scion Racing Drift FR-S over the season and we all look forward to an even better 2013 Formula Drift Season with the Scion Racing Team...

With just a few days left before the last round of our 1st season in the Formula Drift Championship. We take a quick look back at our season so far (click on the rd. titles for our past blog post on each event.)

The GReddy Racing Team is proud of the progress in development of the GReddy Performance X Scion Racing Drift FR-S. With hard work from the entire team and our technical partners like Hankook, KW, Cosworth and Ray's, we have evolved from being the very first FR-S built for professional drift competition in rd.1 to a true tandem drift contender, with veteran driver Ken Gushi, coming into this last round in Irwindale. Over the past 6-7months, we have worked on improvements at each round. This weekend Ken Gushi has the go ahead to go all out for this last round... We look forward to some good runs at Rd.7 And watch out for next season!

And if you join us at Irwindale Saturday, @ScionRacing wants your photos of Ken or his Drift FR-S. Tag @ScionRacing + #ScionRacing on Instagram and you will be entered in a drawing to win a GReddy Racing Team Jersey!

It was great seeing new and old friend at 86Fest yesterday. In addition to having Formula Drift driver, Ken Gushi and his two GReddy powered FR-S, we displayed new items for the FR-S along with the new Multi D/A Gauge and the next PRofec (electronic boost controller- due Nov.)
